Democratic Korea now a super-power!

DPRK diplomat Kim Song Gi speaking

By

London’s Chadswell Centre in central London
once again became the venue for Korean solidarity activists last weekend, for a
report-back meeting of a visit to Democratic Korea by a Korean
Friendship Association (KFA) delegation and to hear DPRK diplomats talk about
the defiant stand of their people’s government in the face of the increasing
violent threats of US imperialism and its lackeys.

Dermot Hudson,
Alex Meads and José Blasquez went to Democratic Korea to take part in the 5th
International Festival at Mt Paektu, the traditional symbol of Korean
independence last month. All three spoke about their impressions of the land of
Juche, which has been forced to develop its own nuclear deterrent to defend the
DPRK against the American imperialists who occupy the southern part of the
Korean peninsula.

Other speakers
included Theo Russell from the Central Committee of the New Communist Party and
KFA activist James Taylor. Kim Song Gi, from the DPRK’s London embassy, gave a
talk entitled The DPRK is a super-power, that outlined Democratic Korea’s efforts
in developing its nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities.

Dermot Hudson
unveiled his latest book In Defence of
Juche Korea, which was part of an exhibition of publications from the KFA
and the DPRK that included works by Democratic Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and
those of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

Once again this
was a golden opportunity to discuss the Korean crisis with DPRK diplomats and
comrades who have just returned from the beleaguered socialist republic, both
during the meeting and over light refreshments supplied by the DPRK embassy.
